Product Overview
Cold-weather gloves need to manage more than low temperatures: damp conditions and moisture from active hands can also affect comfort. Rothco Cold Weather All Purpose Duty Gloves combine insulation, moisture-wicking fabric, and a breathable waterproof bladder to address all three. For chilly airsoft days, outdoor duties, or general cold-weather use, they pair weather protection with synthetic leather grip surfaces.
Warmth and Moisture Management
Thermoblock insulation helps keep your hands warm, while the polyester-spandex fabric works with 5mm open-cell foam to draw moisture away from the skin. That moisture management is useful during activities that alternate between movement and standing still, such as walking across an airsoft field and then waiting at an objective. Rather than relying on insulation alone, the construction also addresses the dampness that can build up inside gloves during active use.
A breathable waterproof bladder adds a barrier against wet conditions. It serves a different purpose from the moisture-wicking fabric: the bladder helps keep outside water out, while the fabric manages moisture next to your hands. Together, these features make the gloves suited to cold, wet outdoor conditions where warmth alone is not enough.
Grip Surfaces and an Adjustable Cuff
Synthetic leather covers the palms and fingers, providing grip and durability in the areas that regularly contact equipment. These surfaces are useful when carrying gear, handling pack straps, or working with field accessories. Additional patches at the fingers and knuckles provide added protection at those points.
The elastic cuff uses a hook-and-loop closure so you can adjust the fit around your wrist. A secure cuff helps the gloves stay in position as you move and handle equipment, without relying solely on the fit through the hand.
